      I encourage you to reach out to the Best Buy Assurance Program and ask them about this, chances are you started using the product 9 months after purchasing Webroot (Best Buy activates the license at point of purchase). They can be reached at 1-800-433-5778. Webroot

      Webroot is the lightest software to hit the security industry in years, we are technologically light years ahead of our competition regarding journaling and remediation of threats. We are confident that you will see such value in this solution and the security and peace of mind that it provides that you won’t think twice about the cost.

      If I may start by mentioning our WIN Cloud http://www.brightcloud.com/platform/webroot-intelligence-network.php as all the work is done on there and not your PC also WSA only uses 3 to 6MB of RAM and up to 6 MB's on the Hard Drive for the Client and this is the future, it's here now! How can the other conventional AV's keep up with almost 500,000 new Malware everyday and over 142 million Malware in 2014 alone? Furthermore, Webroot has free Support as long as you have a subscription. Where as most other AV's don't have this! Webroot
